Looking for a new amp

Re: Looking for a new amp

Uh...any Fender amp?

Even Hot Rods sound good with the volume up.

Dual channel
Effects loop
Fender-esque gain and clean tones
Reverb
Around 1500 or less used

Re: Looking for a new amp

Well I've already got a great Fender - 68 Bassman - so I want a different flavor. I'm thinking about a Mesa of some sort - Mark II, Lonestar Classic - or a 6L6 Shiva.

When I answered you this morning you wanted Fender-esq now you want something different...

If you want NOT like a Fender then stay away from anything Mesa really, most Mesa stuff is based on Fender stuff...the Shiva 6L6 pales in comparison (IMHO) to the EL-34 model but that said both of them sound like big Fenders...

If you want 2 channels, not Fender in vibe and at $1500 or so used I'd start with a Marshall 2205 and 2x12 cab or maybe even a DSL-50 and 2x12 cab...

Re: Looking for a new amp

I should have phrased that better - I want a different flavor of Fender. I don't think I could take an amp that only does the Marshall sound. It just wouldn't be for me. That's why I'm intrigued by the Shiva and certain Mesas - they do a good fender sound, but not 100% Fender, and have a great gain sound.

I'm still trying to decide whether to get the Bassman that I've been looking at or get a Deluxe Reverb Reissue or a Super Sonice 22. Lol

I mean, the EL84 Shiva is the ultimate guitar amp, in my opinion.

If you can find one, get it.

They are not under $1500, though.

Re: Looking for a new amp

I've seen them go for 1200 in this area.
